Hi, I'd like to join if you still have room. SR was my first english rpg aswell and I loved it from day one. Never liked the rules though, but seems to me that the 4th edition rules might be the best ones yet

I know it's been a while. But with the release of some new and much needed books and errata. I can now comfortably host a 4th Edition Shadowrun book in either Hong Kong or Seattle. The game would use Shadowrun Fourth Edition [with 4th Printing Errata] Street Magic and Runner Havens. Meaning new Magicks for those who want magics and totems for shamans and lots of other goodies. As well two detailed cities prefab made to start out quickly in.

I'd also use the CharGenSR4 2.0 program for it's handiness and ability to add new skills, qualities and spells on the fly with the ability to calculate point cost with ease.

Well I've played but don't have the rules I was thinking though a Corp Companion might be fun. She would be very lightly teched up and be generally a social creature brought in to tend the needs of powerful executives of both genders, and couples.

Another option would be she works for an Entertainment Corp and that is one of their angles so she would work for anyone that could pay her fee. Well over an average schmucks salary but an excutive, scientist or prominant person like a crime boss is a different story. Would be great then at getting contacts in the game eventually in many different circles and have some regulars.

Game mechanics is handled more like a White Wolf based game. You have a set target number [5 and 6], you have a dice pool which you add and subtract modifiers and then you roll to get enough hits on the target number for a success. The system is more streamlined that way, but you still get times you throw a bunch of d6's at the MJ.

Download that character designer like I said, it allows you to create a character on the 400 point basis and it tells you what each skill, stat and such does.

Also, those using the character generator and make a Magician/Mystic Adept and see the spells Orgasm and Orgy, those are actual spells. They are no joke spells at all, they were introduced in Street Magic.

Old board up and revised. With a new catchy name, some new links and still that long, detailed creation method for non-book owners and people who want to check on something without having to flip back and forth through pages.
